Silver-Bullet August 11, 2004 Share Silver-Bullet Member August 11, 2004 Ok heres the dealio...im 13 (as you all should know) and i like to game. I would like a computer that can play online games (at least unreal tourny and some bf) but my parents don't know jack about this kind of stuff. So im trying to save up money to get a gaming computer. But i dont want to spend more than 650 tops (including everything i need case etc) Is it impossible to spend that little and get a good enough computer that can play games at a good fps/size? Thanks a bunch P.S-dont worry about putting it togther, because my friend and his dad know how to, and they said that if i got one they would help me put it togther while teaching me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magruter August 11, 2004 Share Magruter Member August 11, 2004 THIS might be a little out dated, but it will give you an idea of what you are looking for. If you build the same system, it will probably be a little cheaper. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-Bullet August 11, 2004 Author Share Silver-Bullet Member August 11, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the quick replies guys (hehe, i made a rhyme!) i might need a moniter. I have to see if it will be just my computer, or if my dad and mom would want to use it as the family computer. If its the family computer, I'll make my dad pay for a new moniter since i bought the comp, if not ill just save up and get one. And mouse and keyboard i can get really cheap. Those are very less expensive than what i was thinking, those are like 450-500$$$ and there good. edit: g00t, why am i a silly bukket?

Crowbar August 11, 2004 Share Crowbar Member August 11, 2004 Dell grade B 17" monitor $35+ Grade B typically means that the product has either been used (typically in an office setting, a company will lease their monitors, then when the lease is up, they are classified as "Grade B" and re-sold) or they are sometimes new un-used products that never got sold and are now being replaced with newer models. Look for the "Special Notes" section and the "Condition" section when reviewing each monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher August 11, 2004 Share Preacher Member August 11, 2004 the one I had there is only $9 more (shipping) and is a grade A, which means no burnt in images on the screen, has the base included and is in "like-new" condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
